I read the Q and A link in Gamekeeper's post. I also read the report in the BBC about what was said in Parliament.
What I took away from it was this quote:
"Where it is not reasonably practicable to follow the Ofcom guidance, and where broadcasters can demonstrate that the broadcasting of flashing lights and/or patterns is editorially justified, viewers should be given an adequate verbal and also, if appropriate, text warning at the start of the programme or programme item."
So, Ubisoft seems to have gone admirably overboard in adding this filter to their games, when all that is required is "adequate verbal and also, if appropriate, text warning at the start of the programme ".
At that point, it should be up to the player to make a decision.
